3D Problems

[GrimmReaper_VI]

Hi everyone! I'm having a problem with my models. Assume I get Illidan and decide his blades are too heavy for him, so I remove them. I also make minor changes to him (because he has a demon form that always shows with shadows electricity, ect.) and save him. Fine. I import him to my map. Fine. I test my map. Not Fine. Illidan's portrait has vanished!! Why? How do I alter character portraits??

I you maked the illidan as a seperate model, you have to make the potrait a seperate model to.

ok... how? I already found it and extracted it, and imported it. How do i set it?

If your model path for the main model is Units/Illidan.mdx (for example), the portrait needs to be imported to Units/Illidan_portrait.mdx.

*demonic laugh* thanks!!! Right, onto the next problem. I want Illidan's blades. I want them black. Can I just find Illidan's model and delete Illidan, edit them and then save them or is there another way to do it? And how can I repaint them?


I'm using Vexter Modifier with W3 Viewer and and mdx converter

Cut out everything so you just have one blade. Then move it around so the blade is facing downwards and the handle is at the origin. Then use attachments to attach it how you want. (Look in the tutorial section for a tutorial on attachments)

And how can I repaint them?

Skin it. You can also find some good tutorials here about how to skin things.

Thanks Pyritie, you make everything look as if it were easy as pie!

I CAN"T FIND A SINGLE TUTORIAL ON ATTACHMENTS!
